Have any posters on here seen the Queensland floods on your news???
 
Just letting you all know that I live in the only part of Australia that isn't flooding at the moment...knowing our luck a bushfire might start over here where I live...

This has been big news all week here in Ontario.  Feel very sorry for those involved but they have shown a real fighting spirit.  Thees folks are not sitting back and waiting for others to bail them out, they show great spirit.  My daughter and son-in-law lived in NZ for a few years and have friends who live in the affected areas.  Wish them all the best for a quick recovery.
 
 
p.s.  don't even think about brush fires!

After seeing the damage left by the flood in Nashville Tennessee last year, I can't imagine the extent of what you are going through. The news here states that the flooding water covers areas larger than the state of Texas. I can't get a grip on that much water. No wonder it is so dry here.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
